I have decided to be an artist
For expressing what others cannot
For explaining realities of everyday
Even if the way will be dangerous.
Everyday in Congo is dangerous
You can meet the death
Simpler than every other place
Of our unjust and black world.
Our situation is blacker that
Our naturally beautiful skin.
Is there any relation between?
The answer must be given by African writers.
As my country has the right
Of reviewing its pure shape
And to write a cloudy history
I write for and about CONGO.
St Antoine de la Vuadi
